Enigma #1

A company and its leadership team can spend a lot of time and effort creating a strategic plan. They may even spend money on the process and bring in a bloodsucker like me to facilitate. Creating the plan, however, is the easy part. Implementation and execution is the real challenge.

So, once you have a plan, how do you ensure follow-through and implementation? How do you support real action throughout the year and prevent the unintended syndrome that results from a beautiful plan in a beautiful binder sitting with all the other similar binders in the CEOs office?

My breakthrough came when we came across the execution management philosophy called the Keyne Methodology. We support the execution management methodology by utilizing software called Keynelink.

This is all a simple philosophy and approach to execution management. After a leadership team has created the strategic plan and corporate initiatives this is the approach to apply towards ensuring execution by the entire company and follow through. Another way of expressing this is that this is the way to truly ensure that a company is focused on, executing and aligned to the strategic plan. More to come on this later.
